Season started last weekend with games in Prague. And I attended the Isles season opener for the first time.

Falafel burgers with hummus and salad drizzled with tahina.

Can I interest you in taking my kid? He loves roller coasters and has wanted to go on the Cyclone since he was five.

@Wilfrid - one of the clues you're a long-time neighborhood resident is that you remember multiple iterations of what existed in a specific location.

I have always found Coldplay to be a bunch of whiny prats. And who dresses Chris Martin? Toddlers have better taste than him!

Holy shit, the apple stuffed challah was one of the best of things I have ever eaten. Unfortunately no photo of the inside because it was the holiday, but the loaf was demolished at the meal.

Different recipe.

Rosh Hashanah challot. Both have cinnamon crumb, but the one on the right (in the baked photo) is stuffed with honey-braised apples.

My building finally got compost bins. It's such a pleasure being able to go downstairs dropping it off rather than having to walk to one of the bin on the street. And to think I used to bring my compost on the subway and bring it to the Union Square Greenmarket.

@voyager - I was not aware of covid pink eye. Fortunately, it was just a classic cold where the virus settled partially in my eye. (something that never happened before I became a parent)

That's a lot more attractive than what my mother served when I was kid. There were no herbs involved.

That was on my dinner rotation as a kid. Loved it!

NYPL hosted an event for this book last night. So excited to go through and cook from it.
